Leiomyomata, neonatal anthropometry, and pregnancy outcomes in singleton pregnancies.
Trial report in Annals of epidemiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00912132 (The National Standard for Normal Fetal Growth), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
purposeTo investigate the relationship of fibroids in pregnancy, preterm birth, and neonatal anthropometry.
methodsPregnant women (n = 2578) in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Fetal Growth Studies-Singletons cohort had up to six ultrasounds across pregnancy. Sonographers recorded fibroid number and volume of the three largest fibroids. Trained personnel measured neonatal anthropometry. Linear and logistic regression compared neonatal anthropometry and pregnancy outcomes among pregnancies with versus without fibroids. Causal mediation analysis evaluated preterm birth as a mediator.
resultsAverage birthweight did not differ by fibroid status. However, compared with pregnancies without fibroids, neonates from pregnancies with single fibroids had 0.3- (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.0, 0.5) cm larger head circumferences; those with multiple fibroids had 0.3- (95% CI, 0.0, 0.6) cm larger arm circumferences; and those with small fibroid volume had 0.7- (95% CI, 0.3, 1.2) cm larger head, 0.4- (95% CI, 0.0, 0.8) cm larger arm, and 0.7- (95% CI, 0.1, 1.3) cm larger thigh circumferences. Presence versus absence of fibroids was associated with 1.73-2.65 times higher odds of preterm birth. Differences in preterm birth did not explain fibroid-anthropometry results.
conclusionsWe found no evidence that fibroids negatively impacted fetal growth; instead, fibroids were associated with increased head, arm, and thigh circumferences. CLINICAL
